Catholicism allows you to cherry pick, you are being called to account for why you have chosen a particular set of stories over another as literal truth relative to allegory. Some other things in the OT matter...like sin and generational curses. Don't you think? This "god" fella is from the OT, he matters.

Quote:Would killing her in self-defence as a last resort still be wrong?It would certainly be -legal-...lol. Would I do it? Without hesitation. With joy. With pride. I'd need a smoke after a kill that satisfying. I wouldn't spend any time blowing smoke up your ass (or her ass) about how morally upright it was, though.
Quote: When a lion kills a deer, from the lion's perspective it is doing good because it is ensuring the survival of it's pride, but from the deer's perspective it is evil... from our perspective it is neither good nor evil because that is how nature works.That's some high level thinking, for a lion, I think...but what does that matter, are you a lion? Am I? Does morality refer to lions? Personally, I think a dead deer is a good deer. They're -terrible-... :wink:
